Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez advocated for a wealth tax at the Munich Security Conference, stating that Western democracies must deliver "material gains for the working class" to defeat authoritarianism, as reported by Crooks and Liars.
Ocasio-Cortez emphasized the urgent need for "a working class-centered politics" to succeed and stave off authoritarianism, which she believes often exploits rising economic inequality to lure people into finding scapegoats.
Fox pundits criticized Ocasio-Cortez's proposal, with some dismissing her ability to sell the idea, as they attacked her wealth tax plan, according to the source.
